On this scanned picture it is hard to see, but in real the area around the question mark is a mirror. Not so strange if you consider that this staring woman reminded a great mail artist of Alice (and Sophie).

Finally it is today! Today is the day we're waiting for since 364 days: 18 November is Banana Appreciation Day!

So I am happy to finally be able to post today's answer from Katerina to the question: ' What or whom is she staring at?'. Well, that is clear :-)

On the back side a great Banana artistamp (I guess it origins from Anna Banana), and Katerina wishes me two wishes: one for a happy Banana Day, and the other for a Vrolijk Pasen = Happy Easter (yay! Longing for spring, too!)!

Coincidentally I got into contact with Dutch mail artist Marc de Hay. Someone from the USA had send mail to him, but accidentally addressed it to my p.o.box in Amstelveen instead of Marc's in neigbouring city of Amsterdam. Via the internet I found the correct address, so I forwarded the mail, accompanied by her. Marc was so kind to add what she is staring at - a beautiful painting by Marc himself - and returned it to me.

Marc is publisher of the Stardust Memories Zine, which appears at irregular base. I couldn't find a website, but if you search the web I'm sure you'll find some more info.
